# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
02 -
Add ground turkey to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, breaking apart with a spoon until no longer pink.
03 -
Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the turkey.
04 -
Add drained red kidney beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies and their juices, and water or chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
05 -
Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
06 -
While the chili simmers, prepare desired toppings such as shredded cheddar, chopped cilantro, or diced avocado.
07 -
Taste and adjust with salt and black pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with selected toppings.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For a milder flavor, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper; original canned tomatoes with green chilies can add a moderate spice level. Always verify the heat of your chili powder if concerned about spiciness.
